Billy Idol started life as William Broad in London in 1955. He found his life's purpose as a member of the Bromley Contingent, early fans of the Sex Pistols. William changed his name, intended first to be spelled Idle but a misprint on a poster showed him that Idol was cooler than Idle, joined Generation X and released Dancing With Myself before moving to New York. There he met Stevie Stevens and launched his solo career.

At the time, punk rock was being changed by the big names John "Rotten" Lydon and the Clash towards a more reggae and political beat. Billy and Stevie decided punk needed more sex. Not long later, Lydon called Idol the "Perry Como of punk." Personally, I have always felt Billy Idol was trying to be the Elvis Presley, not the Perry Como, of punk with the sneering lip, stance, sexuality, and deep voice with a rumble and a rasp to it.

Riding the wave of 80s nostalgia, Billy Idol has released Idolize Yourself, a greatest hits set that is better than most. The CD includes all the hits from Dancing With Myself to LA Woman, a movie track, and two new releases, John Wayne and New Future Weapon.
